Trivia

 * The mod's creator, TerminusEst13, has stated on multiple occasions that he will not add Strifeguy from Strife and Caleb from to the roster, despite frequent requests. He will not add Strifeguy for balance reasons and Caleb because the character's attacks are too similar to those of others.
